Aziz Ansari in Master of None (2015)
The Emmy Award-winning MASTER OF NONE returns with a new season that chronicles the relationship of Denise (Emmy Award winner Lena Waithe) and her partner Alicia (BAFTA winner Naomi Ackie). Directed by series co-creator and Emmy winner Aziz Ansari, and scripted by Ansari and Waithe, this new season is a modern love story that intimately illustrates the ups and downs of marriage, struggles with fertility, and personal growth both together and apart. Fleeting romantic highs meet crushing personal losses while existential questions of love and living are raised.

    Love season 1 & 2... and 3

    Yes, S1 & S2 packed with sharp and comedic scenes (fantastic writing!). Season 3 is a different animal, but I think it's really good. Aziz did excellent job (he seemed learned a lot)! Although perhaps he should create a different series with S3 so some particular fans of S1 & S2 won't feel "betrayed".

    Yes, S3 is "not" Master of None

    I'm talking about S3. If you like Arthouse drama you will love S3. I think is genius. In my opinion Aziz Ansari got some serious drama talent. I understand why people don't like S3, it is not Master of None it is an entirely different genre and could easily be named differently, maybe it should be.

    So, if you hate slow, heavy but also ballsy and beautiful drama, avoid S3.

    Season 3 review

    I appreciate the experimental nature of this season both in general and In comparison to the previous two seasons

    Nevertheless I thought his season was tedious to a fault in terms of execution and overall story

    Naomi Ackie is fantastic and hope her name is considered when it comes to awards season

    I've rewatched the first two seasons and realistically will rewatch them again in the future

    I doubt I will ever rewatch this season.

    One great and fun journey with many emotions.

    Master of None is a Netflix original TV-series that at first glance looks nothing more than your mediocre story with a single guy trying to find his love of his life. After watching through the first season one can absolutely say that it is more than that, it is funny, romantic, and sad. And goes deeper than most romance themed movies and shows.

    Master Of None focuses on Dev (Played by Aziz Anzari), an Indian- American who is in his 30's and is still single. In his journey of finding the perfect girl he continuously turn down girls, always trying to find someone better, all this without knowing that the perfect girl is none existing, but only attainable in the right mindset. Every episode spread his journey out, from dating, social life and work life. While the story might not in itself sound original, the message is bigger than what the eye can see. It is not about his journey, but what he discovers while uncovering it. The story is entertaining, but the message is not really noticed before your good in the season. What I feel is important to address is that every episode is special, one episode will make you laugh, while another might give you the chills when it gets heated. However most of the episodes are somewhat more mixed, giving you a "I really want to laugh, but it might be a little inappropriate" Feel.

    Dev is definitely a great protagonist. He is the good guy, always fighting to make the perfect choices, but the cast is bigger. I will definitely say that the cast is spot on, every character feel believable, even the parents to Dev (Who is Aziz actual parents). They do however have some less believable moments, but never anything noteworthy. Rachel (played by Noel Well) is definitely one of my favorite character, she is easily likable, which is important after how much time she uses with Dev. The chemistry between Dev and Rachel feels believable, and exciting, making those Cuddly scenes more entertaining and believable than in other shows and movies.

    As said earlier, episodes are different and some of them more emotional filled compared to other who will make you laugh more. It is a nice twist compared to other shows who feels the same every time. It is more believable with episodes that are different in themes. Just like life, Sometimes it is fun, sometimes it's not. You can therefore relate a lot to the show.

    Overall, Master of None is a stretched out romantic journey that really doesn't tell something new, but something better. The content is cared for, and feels relate able. The Cinematography is great, and sometimes it is just done perfectly. Master Of None is gonna make you laugh at most, but still make you question both yourself, and our society for the better.

    The rating is for the first two seasons only

    The first two seasons are basically a small masterpiece. The Long awaited third season however is a spin-off and doesn't really have anything to do with the first two seasons and follow other characters for only 5 episodes. Although I have not yet met anyone getting through all five episodes. I really tried. I wanted to like the third season, but yeah, no.

    Why does it switch to celluloid film and 4:3 when the rest of the series has not been shot this way? Why is it only five episodes with so many years passing in some of them? Why is it an (very failed and flawed) art film cut up in a few acts? Why is it called season 3 when it is clearly not just a spin off, but also not even in the style of the original series? Did Aziz just watch a lot of classic European movies and think "Hey, I should try to blatantly copy this for my series that has nothing of this sort really otherwise"? Also, it is actually a poorly made version of that with the timing off concerning the awkward moments etc.

    I usually don't write reviews here, but wanted to recommend the first two seasons and also wan people about the third.

    • Trivia
      Aziz Ansari searched for two Indian actors to play his parents, but was unable to find anyone suitable for the roles, and eventually cast his real life parents, who are not actors.
    • Goofs
      Aziz Ansari's character's name is Dev Shah and yet he is shown speaking Tamil in the childhood shots. It is not entirely out of the realm of the possible for a 'Shah' to live in Tamil Nadu but it is a stretch that they would talk Tamil at home and address their grandfather as 'Thatha'. People with the surname Shah are usually from Gujarat and speak Gujarati.
    • Quotes

      Dev: You see The Social Network? Max Minghella plays an Indian guy. He's white. They browned him up.

      Ravi: No no, I read he's one-sixteenth Indian.

      Dev: Who cares? If you go back far enough we're all one-sixteenth something. I'm probably one-sixteenth black. You think they're gonna let me play Blade?
